Summary
A construction traffic sign in North York flashed outrageous, profane messages like “F--- THE GOVERNMENT” and “DE FLOCK CANADA,” mocking surveillance tech and sparking online buzz. Metrolinx confirmed the sign was hacked by a contractor and has since been removed — but no one knows who did it. With easy-to-find tutorials online, these kinds of pranks aren’t rare — and they’re part of a wider pushback against license plate cameras, which are proliferating across Canada and the U.S. The stunt may have been fleeting, but it’s a loud reminder that we’re all being watched — and people are responding.
